No More Kings
Music & Lyrics: Lynn Ahrens Performed By: Lynn Ahrens Animation: Kim & Gifford Productions First Aired: 1975 |
| Rockin’ and a-rollin’, splishin’ and a-splashin’, Over the horizon, what can it be?The pilgrims sailed the sea To find a place to call their own. In their ship Mayflower, They hoped to find a better home. They finally knocked On Plymouth Rock And someone said, “We’re there.” It may not look like home But at this point I don’t care.Oh, they were missing Mother England, They swore their loyalty until the very end. Anything you say, King, It’s OK, King, You know it’s kinda scary on your own. Gonna build a new land The way we planned. Could you help us run it till it’s grown?They planted corn, you know They built their houses one by one, And bit by bit they worked Until the colonies were done. They looked around, Yeah, up and down, And someone said, “Hurray!” If the king could only see us now He would be proud of us today.They knew that now they’d run their own land, But George the Third still vowed He’d rule them till the end. Anything I say, do it my way now. Anything I say, do it my way. Don’t you get to feeling independent ‘Cause I’m gonna force you to obey.He taxed their property, He didn’t give them any choice, And back in England, He didn’t give them any voice. (That’s called taxation without representation, and it’s not fair!) But when the Colonies complained The king said: “I don’t care!”He even has the nerve To tax our cup of tea. To put it kindly, King, We really don’t agree. Gonna show you how we feel. They wanted no more Mother England. We’re gonna elect a president! (No more kings) Rockin’ and a-rollin’, splishin’ and a-splashin’, |
